Dr. Patricia was born in Oakland, CA and raised in the Bay Area. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, she owns Connection Cafe: A Chiropractic Center and serves at both the Union City and Lafayette locations! Dr. Patricia has personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic throughout her life and with her two sons. She has always had a keenness for embracing the body’s own inherent ability to function, to heal, and to thrive at its highest capacity. An avid student of kung fu, Dr. Patricia initially planned to work as a sports chiropractor. However, after hearing Dr. Jeanne Ohm, ICPA’s (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) CEO, speak at a seminar, she knew without a doubt that her life’s work would be specializing in pregnancy and pediatrics. Dr. Ohm’s talk spoke so deeply to her, reminding her of her own traumatic birth experiences. As a result, she was inspired to help empower women to trust their bodies, shed their fears, and embrace their innate capacity to birth their babies naturally and with minimal interventions. The chiropractic techniques that Dr. Patricia practices are Diversified and Drop, as well as Sacro Occipital technique (SOT) and Activator. She is Webster Technique certified, which is a chiropractic analysis and adjustment that is utilized in prenatal care. She is a Dynamic Body Balancing practitioner, which is a variation of cransiosacral therapy with myofascial unwinding and can be used on anyone including prenatal and pediatric practice members. And she also incorporates tonal and light touch approaches such as Bio Geometric Integration (BGI) and craniosacral therapy!
